Graduations are pretty special at 4 Paws for Ability, and without our volunteers, they wouldn’t be possible. 🎓💞 Now that some of our volunteer trainers are graduating themselves, we are thrilled to celebrate these incredible students and members of our 4 Paws family.

“Kraken is the perfect mix of spunk and hard worker. Having him around has helped Christian work through his anxiety in large spaces, and he’s stopped eloping because his pup is around.”
